    Kid Approved Chicken Udon Noodles – Cooking With Kids

    April 20, 2015 /

    Chicken Udon Noodles to the rescue! As my children get older, time is even more precious and demands on time are somehow even greater than ever before. But eating meals together is still important. Sometimes as a family we battle finicky appetites and hormones. That can be challenging. Very honestly, I can tell you that my tween and teen were so much less picky when they were small. As toddlers they ate everything I gave them. I never ever heard: “What’s for dinner?” or “Can I just make myself a sandwich instead?”   So cooking can be more challenging than ever. It’s deflating when someone comes to dinner and turns…

    One of my Favourite Dishes: Chicken Piccata Recipe

    April 16, 2015 /

    One of my favourite dishes ever to order when we go out is this: chicken piccata. I love the flavour combinations of capers and lemon and wine with chicken served on a bed of noodles. Of course there is always just a tiny hint of olive oil in the mix to make this dish, and the chicken, super moist and succulent. I wish I had a dish of it handy right now actually. This, and chicken masala, are two chicken dishes I could exist on. No question, chicken is a staple in many family homes at dinner time. It is versatile and fairly inexpensive. Plus it really absorbs spices and…

Best Three Cheese Extra Cheesy Spaghettini Bake Comfort Food Any Time of Year I know I’m not really still supposed to be making comfort food in the spring, right? But cheese!! Cheese makes me happy.

    Best Crepes Recipe: Nothing Says Romance Like French Cuisine #GayleaMom

    February 9, 2015 /

    Nothing whispers romance like French cuisine. There’s just something inherently gorgeous about French food. Same can be said of travel to France and Quebec, and learning the language. All things French evoke atmosphere. So too with the food. So what better time than February – a month celebrating family and love – to dust off the skillet and create some lovely French recipes? This weekend I used two of my favourite Gay Lea Food products to create a lovely romantic and delicious meal. I hope this will be the best crepes recipe you have ever tried too. First the dinner crepes: we had only a few dinner things in the…

    Family Favourite Cheesy Stuffed Pasta #GayLeaMom

    January 23, 2015 /

    Cheesy stuffed pasta I love manicotti and I love cannelloni too. I remember making these both as a teenager. I still love a tasty cheesy pasta dish and so does my family. So sometimes we combine the two ideas of cannelloni and manicotti and make our own version of cheesy stuffed pasta with a little help from Nordica cottage cheese. The ingredients aren’t expensive and this should make enough for the entire family, and then some. When we made this scrumptious and nutritious dinner last week, we actually made enough for two nights. The kids ended up taking some for lunch at school and so did my husband. I am…
